Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words.
Technically it wasn't a first start, that happened the other day. This was a "cold" start with everything connected. The shop was also 60*, so that helped a little...
Seems to run decent, but the true test will come this summer during the mowing festivities.
I'm happy with it, and it was a fairly easy conversion. Travis mentioned the grill will need some modifying or the exaust tip, we'll see what happens on a test fit...
Now onto chapter two...
Why can't I just leave things alone?
Yes, good talking with you also Jonathan.
